"If you can believe what some of the online tech prognosticators tell you, Apple's real 'Top Secret' plan is to have Mac OS 10.5 Leopard out by Macworld Expo in January, or perhaps shortly thereafter. If true, it would give Apple a chance to trounce Windows Vista, at least in times of mind share as opposed to market share, assuming the latter indeed comes out around the same time. I think some of the folks who expect an early release ought to reconsider what they're smoking or drinking."

With their licencing, I think the issue has to do more with their obsession with making money; I remember a well known CEO who said, "concentrated on the product, and the profits will follow".
If customers want to pirate, then so be it, no use trying to trace it, those who want to and able to pay for software, will always will, irrespective of whether its a free download away, whilst in the same sentence, those who want to pirate, irrespective of the copy protection, always will.
You're right, I don't think they're going to release MacOS X Tiger at the rumored date; they *might* give a fixed date at that time, they might show off the rumoured Finder replacement, but I don't see them shipping it; they need to do alot of work not only to bring it up to standard but to also add the necessary features to make it UNIX 2003 compliant.
